TAAROF The concept of 'Taarof' was described to me by a Persian friend some 20yrs ago. As it relates to food it is uncivil to refuse food offered by your host (2nds/3rds,etc). There are others cultures which have similar food customs - maybe one reason why they overeat?

I'm not saying that what you said isn't A factor. I just think it's not the main one.

Understand. But more a function of - 'how much of what we eat'

This I disagree with. I believe, both due to the way our body processes certain foods and due to how filling or satisfying they are, it is almost impossible to become obese on certain diets. For example, much easier to become fat on pasta-only compared to fatty steak only.
